Toyota is recalling approximately 106,000 U.S. Land Cruiser SUVs because a connection in the fuel system could separate. The automaker’s October 14, 2026 announcement covers certain model-year 2024–2027 vehicles—not automatically every Land Cruiser bearing those model years.

The defect and planned repair

Toyota says a fuel-tube connection near the tank could come apart, allowing fuel to escape until the hybrid system’s engine stops. Escaping fuel can present a fire risk if an ignition source is present.

Dealers will inspect the connection and add a supplemental clamp. Where necessary, they will also replace the resin fuel tube before fitting the clamp. Toyota says the work will be free and owners will be notified by mid-December 2026.

How owners can check

Use Toyota’s official recall lookup with the vehicle’s 17-digit VIN or license plate and issuing state. A model-year match alone cannot establish whether an individual SUV is included. The notice gives Toyota customer support as 1-800-331-4331.

The NHTSA recall page offers another VIN or plate check. It cautions that some newly announced recalls may not appear immediately because VINs are still being added; a zero-open-recall result also excludes work already completed. Those limits matter when interpreting a search result.

Ask the dealer to confirm your VIN’s status, current repair availability and any vehicle-specific interim instructions. The notification deadline is not a promise that every dealer already has parts or an appointment available. This report does not determine whether a particular vehicle is safe to drive.

See our Recalls & Safety section for other campaigns; each requires its own vehicle check.
